Annealed Binding Wire 16 Gauge
Soft annealed low-carbon steel wire, 16 gauge (1.6 mm diameter), used for tying rebar in construction and general binding applications. Classified under HTS 7217.90.50 as other nonalloy steel wire not in coil form or specifically coated beyond basic annealing treatment. The annealing process softens it for easy bending without further working.

This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If diameter exceeds 1.5 mm and considered bars/rods
Thicker sections classified as hot-rolled bars/rods rather than wire in Chapter 72.
If twisted into nails during manufacture
Further worked into headed pins or nails shifts to Chapter 73 articles of iron/steel.
If for high-strength variants with yield >355 MPa
Meets high-strength steel definition per Chapter 72 notes, reclassified as alloy/specialty wire.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include annealing process certification; over-softening may resemble waste scrap scrutinized under different quotas
• Label gauge precisely (AWG standards) to distinguish from rod products in 7214 or 7215
